There's Still Time to Sign Up for a Girl Scout Cookie Booth




During GSSI’s Cookie Booth weekends, troops sell Girl Scout Cookies to customers at shopping centers, churches, apartment complexes, festivals, restaurants and other venues in their area. Cookie Booths gives customers a chance to get their favorite Girl Scout Cookies immediately and gives Girl Scouts the opportunity to reach a wider audience, promote the benefits of the Girl Scout Cookie program in their community and work on key business, financial and personal skills together as a troop.

 To host a Girl Scout Cookie Booth, troops needs just one registered adult volunteer and two registered Girl Scouts.  This flexibility allows troops to sell in shifts or on different days and to participate even if the whole troop cannot get together.
Remaining Council-Wide Cookie Booth Weekends are March 7-9 and March 14-16. A letter has been mailed to troops that have registered. If you would like to participate in a booth weekend, the eBudde Cookie Cupboard Ordering Quick Guide will help you navigate the easy online ordering system.
If you are unable to participate in the Council Sponsored Booth weekends but would still like to host a booth outside of those dates, please contact Product Program now. We would be happy to provide cookies for your scheduled booth weekend.
 
Get Creative With Your Cookie Booth!
 
Need a creative way to sell cookies? GSSI’s Product Program team is here to help! Below are just a few ideas to get you started -- call or e-mail if you’d like to discuss your idea!
 
  • Contact your local legion halls for area fish fries or other special events.
  • Have an empty parking lot or store front in town? – Set up a drive thru cookie sale.
  • Decorate your van and drive around the neighborhoods selling cookies.
  • Check out your local sporting events to see if you can set up a booth. 
For more information please contact Kelly Jansen, Director of Product Sales, kjansen@gsofsi.org or Katie Grayling, Product Sales Assistant, kgrayling@gsofsi.org.

There's Still Time to Sign Up For a Cookie Booth
 
At a Girl Scout Cookie Booth, troops sell Girl Scout Cookies to customers at shopping centers, churches, apartment complexes, festivals, restaurants and other venues in their area. Cookie Booths gives customers a chance to get their favorite Girl Scout Cookies immediately and gives Girl Scouts the opportunity to reach a wider audience, promote the benefits of the Girl Scout Cookie Program in their community and work on key skills together as a troop.   Cookies sold at Girl Scout Cookie Booths from now until March 16 will count towards Girl Scout rewards.
 
Council Sponsored Cookie Booth weekends are Feb. 28 – March 2, March 7-9, and March 14-16.   To host a Girl Scout Cookie Booth, a troop needs one registered adult and two registered Girl Scouts -- so if a troop needs to work in shifts, they can. 
 
Also, if a troop wants to hold a Girl Scout Cookie Booth to raise funds for troop activities, they can.  Please contact GSSI's Product Program staff to get set up.
 
 
 

Don't Forget About Gift of Caring

Each year, GSSI has a special Gift of Caring project as part of the Girl Scout Cookie Program.  Gift of Caring lets fans of Girl Scout Cookies give to others while supporting Girl Scouts.



During the 2014 Girl Scout Cookie Program, GSSI is partnering with local American Red Cross chapters for Gift of Caring.  Through this partnership, Girl Scout Cookies can be donated to help comfort families who are affected by natural disasters.
